Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] International Glazing Data Base (IGDB) question
Thodwris -
We were generating the IGDB in IDF format for a few recent versions of the IGDB, but what we generated caused a lot of errors in Energy Plus because the tolerances for Transmittance + Reflectance are different between Energy Plus and the tool that LBNL uses to generate the IGDB. I haven't had time to get this issue resolved, and so have not been putting the IGDB up on our IGDB website. However, I can put the IDF file up, and put a note saying that potentially not all of the records will run without errors in Energy Plus, so that at least you and other users would have access to the records that do run properly. I will try to do it by the end of the week, so check the LBNL IGDB website on Friday, and email me directly if you don't see it there.

are problems in using the entire data base that we have been trying to
work out with the LBNL windows people (unsuccessfully, so far).

I have a simple question to
make. I read that among the many new features of
e+7 is that there is an International Glazing Data Base (IGDB) that
can be used directly.
Where in energyplus can I find it?
